TALK ON INTERNET ARCHITECTURE, INNOVATION AND NETWORK NEUTRALITY AT NYU, NOV 10 #netneutrality #nyc
Barbara van Schewick, Associate Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and Director of Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society, will discuss her recently released and widely praised book, Internet Architecture and Innovation, at NYU Law School on Wednesday Nov 10 2010.When: Wednesday, November 10, 2:30pm-3:30pm.
Where: Vanderbilt Hall – Room 216 – NYU Law School – 40 Washington Square South, NYC
Who: ISOC-NY community welcome. Photo id required.Professor Marvin Ammori has described the book as “essential reading for anyone interested in Internet policy-and probably for anyone interested in the law, economics, technology, or start-ups.” The book analyzes how the Internet’s internal structure, or architecture, has fostered innovation in the past; why this engine of innovation is under threat; why the “market” alone won’t protect Internet innovation; and which features of the Internet’s architecture we need to preserve so that the Internet continues to serve as an engine of innovation in the future.
Whether you are tired of or confused by the network neutrality debate, or simply wondering what is at stake, van Schewick’s talk will be refreshing and illuminating.
